The Atlantic Monthly is a great American magazine, and has contributed immensely to discussions of violent conflict over the years. Here are four classic articles that anyone looking to understand, or discuss, violent conflict in the modern world has to investigate. These articles give deep insight into the causes of violent conflict, be they modernization (Lewis and Barber), resource scarcity (Kaplan), or second order effects from foreign policy decisions (Weaver).
The Coming Anarchy by Robert Kaplan
Jihad vs. McWorld by Benjamin Barber
The Roots of Muslim Rage by Bernard Lewis
Blowback by Mary Anne Weaver
